Currentness
(a) Any person, firm, or corporation applying for a license or the renewal of a license to service portable fire extinguishers shall furnish to the State Fire Marshal and maintain and keep in force at all times a current policy of public liability and property damage insurance. The policy shall provide limits of bodily injury and property damage of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for each occurrence annually as payment for damages to persons or property which may result from or be caused by the negligent servicing of portable fire extinguishers by the licensee, his, her, or its agents, servants, employees or certificate holders performing the service.
Exception: “Persons, firms, corporations or public entities,” not engaged in the business of servicing fire extinguishers for a fee, who only maintain their own portable fire extinguishers.
(b) The certificate of insurance shall provide all of the following:
(1) That the insurer will not cancel the insured's policy without fifteen days prior written notice to the State Fire Marshal; and
(2) That the insured license-holder, and all certificate holders acting as employees under the license-holder, are included as additional insurers, but only insofar as operations within the scope of the licensing requirements are covered; and
(3) That the State of California shall not be responsible for any premiums or assessments on the policy.
(c) Persons, firms, corporations or public entities not engaged in the business of servicing fire extinguishers, for a fee, who only maintain their own portable fire extinguishers shall annually provide to the State Fire Marshal a written statement that the State of California shall be held harmless from any and all actions of their employees who maintain a valid certificate of registration while performing their portable fire extinguisher activities.
